Belize!

I forgot to mention something super cool!
Last night at the INN we prayed for this girl who is leaving to work with YWAM in Belize for the next year or more. I got so excited for her!! I introduced myself to her and told her to give all the kids at King's hugs for me. I also told her about the awesome bridge outside of the YWAM base :)

I called my dear friend, Karin, on the way home from the INN and told her about the girl I met. We spent some good time reminiscing about Belize and the list of things I should have made for this girl, had it not been overwhelming to give her such a list:
To swim in Blue Hole. And to check out the Armenian Village. And to eat plantains and plantain chips and that the pineapple is the best. And that the hill in the Armenian village is really a small mountain. And to visit the Mayan ruins. And that the stars shine so brightly down there that you think there are street lights, but there aren't. And that rain on a tin roof is amazing. And that beans and rice and stewed chicken is the best food there is. And that the tarantulas are fun. And that howler monkeys in the morning are creepy and sweet at the same time. And that sleeping under mosquito netting can be considered heavenly. And that the jungle smells amazing. And to pack everything in ziplocs. And to drink milk from a coconut. And to visit Five Blues National Park. And to cliff dive into Five Blues Lake.

And the list could go on....

Going to Belize will do strange things to a person--like when I held a tarantula and I'm terrified of them (still am!).

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I think of that trip every once in awhile and wonder how the kids are doing. Remember Zeke?

Oh and don't forget to drink a soda down there. I love their Pepsi in the glass bottles. It's so sugary sweet. And, I agree, the pineapple was so amazing.

How could I possibly forget Zeke?! Remember, "I know you - your name is Twish"? :)
